Definitions

  • Portable systems of the second group of products are costly and therefore do not provide low cost of energy. They are therefore typically only used in bespoke applications which can justify the added cost necessary to achieve the desired portability of the PV system.
  • FIGS. 6 a to 6 f show the PV array of FIG. 5 in progressively being unfolded to an open condition.
  • a single carriage could be employed to install any number of PV arrays.
  • a plurality of PV arrays could be transported to the installation site and could be installed separately by the one carriage.
  • One or more arrays could be loaded onto the carriage and installed and thereafter, further arrays could be loaded onto the carriage and installed.
  • the stacked modules 31 can be lifted slightly to the position as shown in FIG. 6 d and further movement in the direction D can be undertaken.
  • the lifting of the stacked modules 31 ensures that there is no dragging of the stacked modules across the support surface, particularly where the support surface might be uneven.
